...prosecution, amazed by what the tape showed, asked the judge to take the highly unusual step of showing it to the jury as the trial's first piece of business. There, on tape, was Kidwell, lying on a couch in an undershirt and slacks. As the drug took hold, he was instructed to begin counting backward from 100. When the count faltered, he was guided by questions from Dr. Satten until he was obviously back with his wife in the murder car, apparently reliving what had happened. He and she "were having a lot of fun," he said. Then...

Marijuana is likely to be used, at least initially, as a lark, as an adventure without fear of serious consequences. Thus, the first and apparently innocuous step may be taken in a succession of others possibly leading to drastic results...

...from Abroad. Along with rotating ambassadors from home, U.S. firms have taken another step long overdue: they are giving more jobs-and more responsible jobs-to non-American executives. As recently as 1965, according to a survey by University of Manchester Professor Kenneth Simmonds, only 59 Europeans were among the 3,733 executives in Europe for 150 U.S. companies. Now the ratio is changing rapidly. The Earl of Cromer, for instance, until recently governor of the Bank of England, is the new chairman of IBM United Kingdom. Dr. Frederick H.
